Input Delay in FC 26

Platform: PC (EA App / Steam

Mode: Pro Clubs/UT

Average Ping: 40ms – 80ms (A-Grade Bufferbloat)

Issue Description: I am experiencing a specific type of "Input Delay" in FC 26. At the start of a match, the gameplay feels responsive and sharp. However, as the match progresses, the input delay increases until the players feel "heavy," moving through mud, and taking 1–2 seconds to respond to stick inputs also when i play with friends my game is late compared to them.

Key Observation - Camera Conflict: I have noticed that the delay is significantly worse when using the Pro Camera. Toggling to a static camera like  immediately improves the responsiveness but the issue presists.

Troubleshooting Already Attempted (No success):

  • Disabled HAGS and Game Mode in Windows.
  • Capped FPS at 90 and 144 via amd Control Panel (VSync Off).
  • Cleared EA App Cache and Shader Cache.
  • Set fcsetup.ini to Read-Only with optimized settings.
  • Disabled all overlays (EA, Discord, Steam).
  • reinstalled the anti cheat.
  • reinstalled the game.
  • Verified that CPU/GPU temperatures are stable (No thermal throttling).

Specific Questions for EA Tech Team:

Is there a known issue with the Pro Camera's dynamic rendering causing input delays on PC?

Why does the input delay "build up" over the course of a match rather than staying consistent with the ping?

       hope i get reply soon thank you

  • I'm having the exact same issue. Stable wifi, average latency below 30ms, RTX 4060 so no graphics rendering issues.

    On Windows 11, Intel i7-13700HX, RTX4060, 16GB RAM.

    i found a workaround wich is to set your fps to 30 it solves the issue but creates another issue wich is lack of smoothness

    I have the same problem since last patch. I had it before, like 2 months ago, after some other patch and it was fixed with another patch, but it was like two weeks between those, so couldn't play pretty much any online mode.

    Interesting is the fact that in RUSH everything works fine, no input delay, no problems at all, but when I play any other online modes, most of the times gameplay is just horrible. When I play with a friend it's like my match is few seconds in the past, cause everything that happened in his perspective appears few seconds later for me.
